Classic British Flight Sim

The HS141 was Hawker Siddeley's last major V/Stol airliner project, it was to have 16 RB202s mounted in pods at the wing routes and 2x RB220s in wing mounted pods. Imagine these flying from a iste roughly where the London eye is now

Donor parts include David Maltby's Trident 3 and the CS 757 for the engines and hand drawn bits and bobs

Thanks Dave... I do hope David M doesn't mind :roll:


Kind regards

I think he'll quite like it John

It's the combination of bits that makes it look odd. The obvious Trident front and fuse.. the 1-11 style T-tail and big RR Headbangers hanging off the wings It's certainly not ugly.. just odd seeing all those 3 wrong bits.. bits you wouldn't normally see bolted together in close formation!!

Bolt an analog panel on and I'll take one

SIXTEEN RB202s????

Now that sounds like a real car alarm buster!

I can just see one rising vertically over the River Thames, or a fleet of them perhaps, all bound for Paris at 0730 every morning. No-one within the City of Westminster would be asleep after that lot for sure.....

I remember reading about this one, it did look the business ( As does you painting The fuel crisis put pay to it though... not the most efficent in that department.

Hi John,

If you had used a 146 fuselage and given it some really large "Sponsons" then you'd have been even closer. Another one worth doing is the HS.134. Basically Its a Trident 3 fuselage with two RB.178s (very similar to the RB.211-535C) underslung a pair of swpet wings with a tailplane reminiscent of the B757 or A321. Would have been way ahead of its time but sadly never made it off the drawing board in 1965.

Heres the original model of VSTOL HS.141 anyway:

Ye Gods! So ugly it could be..

...Russian! :dance:

Thank God they didn't make it, putting a Hawker nameplate on that would have been like hanging a Ferrari badge on a barge.

That's almost the point Simon.. John's paint is much better looking Odd as it may be, it's a lot less Thunderbirds than the real deal
